<p>[Page 63]</p><p>Thursday, 28 June 1917<br />Again the day was fine and as we are well in the tropics it was fairly warm. The sea was as calm as the harbour practically and scarcely any motion was noticeable in the vessel. The night was beautifully moonlight. It is rumoured that another rebellion in Ireland has broken out.</p><p>Friday, 29 June 1917<br />Today has been very hot and we are close to the line. Plenty of flying fish are to be seen. This morning we dropped out of the line and indulged in some gun &amp; rifle practice. The gun fired about 8 shots. The war rumour today is that the Russians have launched 3 offensives &amp; that the Mongolia has been torpedoed.</p>
